FIELD

The present disclosure relates to child-resistant containers including a platform for handling of plant-based products.

BACKGROUND

Plant-based products, such as produce, herbs, nutritional supplements, and the like have historically been produced at farms in other production environments, such as using hydroponics and shipped in crates, barrels, or similar containers by trucks, trains, boats, ships, and other shipping facilities. Mechanisms, such as inventory tracking systems using readers that interrogate chips that are placed on containers, have been used for tracking such products from production environments through transportation and warehousing to points of sale. A number of recent changes in the business ecosystem for certain products, including regulatory changes, have led to increased demand for such products, but have also created complications for owners and operators, including farmers and other producers, shippers, warehousing companies, and vendors, as well as for regulators and end consumers. For example, some products, such as cannabis, are legal only in certain jurisdictions and for certain purposes, such as medical uses, that may vary jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction. As a result, owners and operators are challenged to ensure that the facilities they control are secure and are in compliance with applicable regulations. Similarly, vendors need to be sure that they are supplying such goods in a way that is consistent with regulations. Consumers may also wish to ensure that products are safe and secure, in part because some of these products have historically been the subject of a black market (possibly making them targets for theft), and even the legal use of the products may need to be controlled, such as to avoid allowing access by children. Consumers also want to make sure products are of high quality, as most of such products are perishable and are quite vulnerable to adverse environmental conditions, such as high or low temperatures. Meanwhile, regulators and enforcement agencies need to ensure compliance with regulations and law, which may not be possible given traditional supply chain infrastructure and tracking systems. Accordingly, Applicant has identified a need for improved methods, systems, products, and components, including improved packages and containers, for enabling packaging, security, safety, tracking, compliance, and high quality in the ecosystem for plant-based products.

SUMMARY

Provided herein are improved methods, systems, products, and components (all of these collectively referred to in the alternative as a “platform” or a “solution,” except where context indicates otherwise), including improved packages and containers and a host system for various information technology capabilities, for enabling packaging, security, safety, tracking, compliance, and high quality in the ecosystem for plant-based products. Plant-based products, such as herbal supplements, fruits, vegetables, tobacco, cannabis, and the like, may be placed in a range of secure, airtight, tamper-proof, childproof packages or containers having various improved shapes, materials, form factors and the like as described and depicted throughout this disclosure.

In embodiments, the packages or containers may include one or more processors, chips, sensors, or the like, including the capability to store information (such as identifying information and information about time and place of origin, exposure to environmental conditions, permitted uses, and many other types), the ability to report information (such as by pushing information over a communications interface, such as Bluetooth™ or Wi-Fi, or to have information pulled, such as upon interrogation by a reader or similar device), and the ability to perform processing functions, such as parsing data and applying one or more rules to one or more inputs in order to provide an output or determine an action.

In embodiments, the platform may include a host system, such as enabling or containing a set of services, programs, applications, processes, or the like, which may be deployed on premises of a host or an owner or operator or on cloud infrastructure, such as web services infrastructure, or a combination thereof. The host system may include one or more servers, data storage facilities, processing facilities, and the like. In embodiments, the infrastructure may be multi-tenant infrastructure, such as for handling processing of information relating to the supply chain of multiple owners and operators, regulators, and/or consumers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 depicts various methods, systems, products, and components for a platform for improved handling of plant-based products, including for packaging, securing, tracking, and reporting, such as for purposes of maintaining security, compliance, and quality. These include various packages 102 and containers 122, as well as a host system 100 having various information technology capabilities. Plant-based products, referred to collectively as produce 104, may include herbal supplements, fruits, vegetables, tobacco products (including conventional and electronic cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, gums, products for vaporizing, and other products), cannabis products (including raw plant material, cigarettes, cigars, edible products, chewable products, creams, salves, gums, products for smoking or vaporization), and the like, may be placed in a range of secure, airtight, tamper-proof, child-resistant, odor-resistant packages 102 and containers 122 having various improved shapes, materials, form factors and the like as described and depicted throughout this disclosure.

In embodiments, Packages 102 may include packages for small batches of material, packages for larger amounts of material, which may be stored in containers 122, such as secure containers 122 that may hold multiple packages 102. In embodiments, the containers 122 may be configured to provide an airtight seal, including the ability to evacuate enough air to provide improved freshness during transportation and storage. The packages 102 and the containers 122 may be childproof, tamperproof, or the like, such as to allow access by adults while preventing (or resisting) access by children. In embodiments, the containers 122 may be secure, such as being locked, including electronic locking, such as to require a password, PIN, fingerprint or other biometric information, or the like, including remote-controlled locking.

In embodiments, the packages 102 may be filled at a farm 108 or other production facility, loaded onto and transported by one or more transport facilities 110, optionally stored in one or more warehouses 152 or storage facilities, sold in a container 122 at one or more points of sale, such as a dispensary 114, and consumed at a point of consumption, such as a home 120. Throughout this process, packages 102 may be tracked by the host system 100. In embodiments, the packages 102 and the containers 122 may include one or more electronic devices, processors, chips (e.g., RFID), sensors, or the like, that may include the capability to store information such as identifying information and information about time and place of origin, the producer, owner or operator, exposure to environmental conditions, information about permitted uses, and many other types of data that may be used as inputs to the methods and systems disclosed herein. In embodiments, the packages 102 and the containers 122 may include one or more electronic devices that may have the ability to report information such as by pushing information over a communications interface, such as cellular, Bluetooth™ or Wi-Fi, or to have information pulled, such as upon interrogation by a reader or similar device. In embodiments, the packages 102 and the containers 122 may include one or more electronic devices that have the ability to perform processing functions, such as parsing data and applying one or more rules or processing steps to one or more inputs in order to provide an output or determine an action. By way of these examples, these capabilities may enable communications and interactions, such as by data networks, communications networks, cellular networks, Wi-Fi, or the like, through various interfaces, such as gateways, application programming interfaces, readers, access points, beacons, and the like, with the host system 100.

As noted above, one or more packages 102 and/or containers 122 containing produce 104 may be filled at a farm 108 or other production facility, which may include production infrastructure 148, including various machinery for production, as well as information technology, such as data storage, processing, and communications, such as for tracking what was produced, at what time, and what was placed into packages 102. In embodiments, produce 104 may be packaged into packages 102 and then into the containers 122 and/or into the containers 122 directly at a separate packaging facility. Packaging events may be reported to the host system 100, such as by pushing information to the host system 100, or by having the host system 100 pull the information, such as by one or more application programming interfaces (APIs), or a combination thereof. Storage of information may be at the farm 108 or packaging facility, at the host system 100, or in an external data storage facility, such as cloud-based storage.

In embodiments, the package 102 and/or the container 122 may subsequently be loaded, such as by a conveyor or the like, onto a transport facility 110, such as a truck, train, boat, ship, or other vehicles. In various embodiments, including on the transport facility 110, at the warehouse 152, at the point of sale, such as a dispensary 114, and at the point of consumption, such as the home 120. The package 102 may be stored in a container 122, which may be a portable container 122, such as filled at the farm 108 and placed on the transport facility 110, or it may be part of the transport facility 110, such as a secure box that may be configured to hold, and secure, the packages 102 (or even smaller containers 122) in a favorable environment, which may include an airtight environment, a cooled environment, a humidity-controlled environment, or the like. In embodiments described throughout this disclosure, the secure container 122 may include a lock, which may include an electronic interface, such as one that may be controlled based on the identity of a user and other factors, which may be managed remotely, such as by centrally managing what users are allowed to access the container 122, which in turn may be configured to allow the container to be opened based on what packages 102 (or products 104) are contained in it, such as ones controlled by a particular owner or operator, ones owned by a particular consumer, or ones approved by a regulator. These may be managed by a security facility 142 of the host system 100, which may interact with identity information 144, such as managed based on a secure identity platform, such as the Okta™ platform, to track identity information, passwords, credentials, and other information necessary to authenticate users.

In embodiments, the host system 100 may include a policy engine 134, such as to allow an owner, operator, host, or regulator to set policies relating to access to one or more of the containers 122 or to one or more packages 102, such as ones contained in a container 122. In embodiments, the host system 100 may maintain a directory 154, database or catalog of secure containers 122, optionally mapped to one or more owners or operators, one or more users, one or more facilities (such as at the farm, in transport, in warehouse, in a point of sale, such as a dispensary, or at a point of consumption), and/or one or more geographic locations. By way of these examples, this directory 154 may include geographic locations of containers 122, including current locations of containers, such as indicated by entry of containers into one or more geo-fenced areas, such as indicated by proximity to one or more access points, beacons, or the like that are located at farms 108, warehouses 152, dispensaries 114, or points of consumption 120.

In embodiments, the directory 154 may allow management of containers 122 at a group level, such as by having groups of containers 122 be managed by the same policies (such as ones owned by a particular owner or operator and/or used for a particular purpose, such as for holding particular goods). This management of containers 122 may include setting policies, such as using the policy engine 134, that apply to the containers, as well as various rules, such as specified and managed by a rules engine 158, which may allow setting various rules that may be deployed through and managed in the host system 100, such as rules that indicate what may be done, by whom, at what locations, to one or more given packages 102, products 104, or containers 122. Rules may be triggered by inputs, such as data that is managed by the host system 100 or detected by, at, or about a package 102 or container 122; for example, a rule may indicate that a container 122 that contains a package 102 containing produce 104 that is illegal in some jurisdictions and may only be opened if geo-fencing data indicates that the container 122 is currently located in a jurisdiction in which the product 104 is in fact legal. In embodiments, the rule may be created in the host system 100, such as in a rules interface, a policy interface, a dashboard, or the like, then managed by the host system 100, including by operating on data that is detected at a container 122 and/or at a package 102. Thus, secure containers 122 and packages 102 may include necessary processing components to allow interaction with the host system 100 to help enforce policies, rules, and regulations.

In embodiments, a local tracking system 112 may be deployed on the transportation facility 110, at the warehouse 152, or at other locations, including the production facility, such as the farm 108, the point of sale, such as a dispensary 114, or at a point of consumption, such as a home 120. The tracking system 112 may report information about the location of a container 122, information about the location of a package 102, and other information, such as obtained from electronic devices, IT elements, IoT elements, sensors (including environmental sensors, such as for temperature, humidity, air pressure, and the like) and from other systems (such as inputs from local IT infrastructure of the various environments in which the containers 122 and packages 102 move or are located), at various points in time, so that information may be obtained in real time about any package 102 or container 122, including current conditions and a complete record of historical conditions. The tracking system 112 may determine location by various location facilities, including GPS, triangulation (such as with cellular infrastructure locations, known access point locations, and others), map-based location (such as entering a known geo-fence or entering proximity of a reader, a beacon, an access point that is deployed at a known location, or the like), by direct reporting (e.g., having an operator enter a location in a user interface), and others. The local tracking system 112 may feed a tracking facility 130 of the host system 100, which may provide data for various purposes, including reporting, routing, regulatory compliance, optimization of the supply chain, security, and many others, regarding a collection of packages 102, containers 122, or the like.

In embodiments, the secure container 122 may be part of, or interface with, a security system 150, which may be deployed at the production facility, such as the farm 108, in or on the transport facility 110, at the warehouse 152, at the point of sale, such as a dispensary 114, or at a point of consumption, such as a home 120. The security system 150 may connect to the host system 100, such as through IT infrastructure of the applicable local environment, or through cellular or other channels. The security system 150 may include one or more cameras, motion sensors (such IR or laser-based sensors), sound sensors, monitored locks (including ones that use electronic codes, ones that are under remote control, and ones that use biometric identification, among other capabilities), and the like. In embodiments, the security system 150 may report to the host system 100, such as to provide one or more reports, alerts, or the like.

In embodiments, produce 104 in packages 102 and/or containers 122 may be transported to the warehouse 152 by the transport facility 110 for storage, then subsequently transported to a point of sale, such as a dispensary 114. The warehouse 152 may have a security system 150, a tracking system, and one or more secure containers 122 for storing packages 102. Storage of the packages 102 and the containers 122 may include storage in areas of controlled air pressure, controlled levels of vacuum, controlled temperature, controlled humidity, and the like, and conditions may be recorded and stored, either locally on an electronic device or other data storage associated with the package 102 and/or the container 122, remotely in the host system 100, or both, so that proof of origin, freshness, freedom from tampering, and the like may be obtained from the host system 100 or directly from the package 102. In embodiments, the methods and systems disclosed herein include a chain of custody and freshness indication (such as a manual bonding strip or an electronic indication) on an exterior of the container 122 that is configured to show whether the container was opened after sealing and before retail purchase.

In embodiments, containers 122 and packages 102 of product 104 may be sold at one or more points of sale, such as, in the case of legally restricted products, a pharmacy or dedicated dispensary 114, which may have a vending infrastructure 118, which may include one or more automated elements, such as a vending machine that requires some form of authentication, such as presentation of a prescription or similar authorization to obtain the product 104. Containers 122 and packages 102 of various types, as described throughout this disclosure, may be presented at the dispensary 114, such as through shelves, coolers, vending machines, kiosks, and other automated or machine-aided presentation facilities.

Once purchased, packages 102 of product 104 may be taken to a point of consumption, such as a home 120, which may also include a secure container 122, such as one requiring authentication, such as a code or biometric authentication, optionally managed through the host system 100. In embodiments, the secure container 122 may provide temperature control, vacuum control, pressure control, humidity control, and the like, in order to preserve freshness. The secure container 122 may include element (manual or electronic) to interface with data on the packages 102, such as to read and present dates of origin, place of origin, expiration dates, type of product 104, characteristics of the product 104, indications or warnings related to the product 104, side effect information about the product 104, and any other information that may be relevant regarding the product 104.

In embodiments, the secure container 122 may allow for control via the host system 100, such as to allow enforcement of rules or policies created and managed by the policy engine 134 and/or the rules engine 158, such as policies indicating what users within the home 120 are allowed to access what packages 102 or products 104 that are disposed in the secure container 122. By way of these examples, similar capabilities may be provided at the level of the individual package 102, such as allowing the package to be opened only by permitted users. In embodiments, the secure container 122 may enforce policy, such as requiring a user to present authentication and to present authorization to access and open a package 102, such as by presenting a prescription that allows medical use or presenting permission from an owner of the package 102 to open the container 122 and/or consume the product 104. This may include parsing of data to allow the specification and enforcement of rules that are based on parsing information at the point of consumption. For example, a rule might allow opening a container 122 or a package 102 only a certain number of times per week, opening the container 122 only on weekends, opening only a certain number of individual packages (or small containers) per time period, opening packages or containers based on validation that the user has not already consumed too much (such as based on an electronic device that could measure proximity, weight, etc.), and the like.

In embodiments, the platform may include the host system 100, such as enabling or containing a set of services, programs, applications, processes, or the like, which may be deployed on premises of a host or an owner or operator or on cloud infrastructure, such as web services infrastructure, or a combination thereof. The host system 100 may include one or more servers, data storage facilities, processing facilities, and the like. In embodiments, the infrastructure may be multi-tenant infrastructure, such as for handling processing of information relating to the supply chains of multiple owners and operators, regulators, and/or consumers. The host system 100 may include, as noted above, services, modules, and/or facilities for tracking 130, such as tracking elements or other electronic devices that may be reported by the local tracking systems 112, including storing all kinds of information that is tracked about products 104, packages 102, containers 122, locations, environmental conditions, and the like that are relevant to the history of a given package 102 or a container 122. In embodiments, the tracking system 130 may include storage of such data, such as in a data store or database. In embodiments, the host system 100 may also include the policy engine 134 and the rules engine 158, providing the capabilities noted above, such as the creation, deployment and enforcement of policies and rules (including laws and regulations), such as applicable to the placement of products 104 in packages 102, the transportation of packages 102, the storage of packages 102, the vending of packages 102, and the consumption of packages 102, as well as rules and policies related to security, authentication, and the like. In embodiments, the host system 100 may include interfaces for regulators 124, such as a compliance module 140, such as providing data to a compliance tracking facility 128 or providing APIs by which a compliance tracking facility 128 may extract data and create a record log from the host system 100, such as evidence of compliance with applicable law in a given situation.

In embodiments, the host system 100 may also include the container directory 154 for indicating locations and other information about secure containers 122 and what packages 102 may be in the containers 122, as well as facilities for managing security 142 and facilities for handling identity 144 (such as for authentication and access to containers 122 or packages 102). In embodiments, a reporting facility 138 may provide reporting, such as of various information indicated throughout, such as relating to production, packaging, transportation, environment conditions, access events, sales, and consumption events, including to owners and operators of production facilities, packaging facilities, transportation facilities, warehouses, and points of sale, as well as to consumers and regulators. In the many examples, one or more reports may indicate patterns of usage, such as to enable analytics, such as to help with optimizing packaging, to help with routing of packages 102, placement of containers 122, and managing other parameters of the ecosystem. In embodiments, a routing facility 132 may include machine-based or machine-aided routing of packages 102, containers 122, transport facilities 110, and the like, such as to optimize operations while remaining in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Taken together, the packages 102, secure containers 122 and the elements of the host system 100 allow for the precise tracking of products through a supply chain, the maintenance of freshness and quality, and the management of complexity introduced by locally varying laws and regulations, including policy-based and rule-based controls that may be triggered by local data collection. In the many examples, the platform provides chain of custody routing through various trusted hands in a supply chain, from production to end user.

In embodiments, sealed packages 102 and containers 122 may maintain a seal from the farm to the customer, including providing tamper-proof seals as described below. In embodiments, packages 102 or containers 122 may include one or more coatings, shrink-wrap elements, or odor-control features (as an integral or additional element), such as to reduce odor during transport, storage, and vending. This may include additional sealing elements that are not contained on conventional tamperproof packages.

Various embodiments of packages 102 and containers 122 are provided herein that may be squeezed to open, that may nest within one another when the cap is removed, and that may be stacked when the cap is in place. In embodiments, the container may include a body and a top. The top may be configured to cooperate with the body to provide a re-sealable closure to a cavity formed in the body. The container may be odor-resistant and child resistant when the top is sealed to the body. The container may be configured to be stackable with another container when the top is sealed to the body of the container. In embodiments, the top may be hingedly connected to the body of the container. In embodiments, the container may be configured to be squeezed to remove the top from the body of the container. In embodiments, the top of the container may be configured to permit another container to releasably connect to and stack with the top of the container. In embodiments, the top of the container may be configured to permit another container to releasably connect to and stack with the container whether the top is sealed to or released from the body of the container. In embodiments, the body of the container may be configured to permit another container to releasably connect to and nest within a portion of the body of the container when the top of the container is not sealed to the body.

In embodiments, the packages 102 and/or the containers 122 may include the capability to house one or more electronic devices including IT elements or IoT device elements. These electronic devices may be included by securing them to glass, plastic, or other material used in the packages 102. In embodiments, one or more of the electronic devices may be molded in the material that forms the container 122 and may seal the electronic device in the material of the container 122. In embodiments, configurations to hold such electronic devices may be placed in the bottom of a package 102 or container 122, such as to provide additional stability or strength to the package 102 and the container 122. In embodiments, onboard electronic devices on the package 102 and the container 122 may account for the movement of a package 102 outside a perimeter and monitor access to packages 102 and containers 122. In embodiments, physical locks, one-time sealing mechanisms, bonded closures, and the like may connect to the electronic devices to require authentication in order to access a package 102 or container 122. In embodiments, onboard electronic devices may monitor and alert a user to temperature and humidity conditions, such as ones that are out of a preferred or other predetermined range. Onboard electronics may provide RFID functionality, such as to provide inventory and sales data at retail locations, during transport, and the like.

In many embodiments, FIGS. 2-15 depict a jar 200 having a child resistant and odor-resistant restricted access mechanism as one example of the container 122. In embodiments, the jar 200 may be a child-resistant threaded glass jar with a top 202 such as a cap depicted in the figures. The jar 200 including its top 202 may be cylindrical in shape and, when secured together with a bottom 204 of its body 208, may form a unitary cylindrical shape. In embodiments, the diameter of the top 202 and the bottom 204 may be about equal so as to provide a uniform circumferential exterior over the entire jar 200. The top 202 of the jar 200 may include the restricted access mechanism configured to permit only authorized users.

In embodiments, the restricted access mechanism may be mechanical and thus may require the user to push or urge the top 202 toward the bottom 204 while rotating the top 202 relative to the bottom 204 to remove the top 202. In embodiments, the restricted access mechanism may be mechanical and thus may require the user to squeeze the top 202 into the body 208 while rotating the top 202 relative to the bottom 204 to remove the top. In embodiments, the restricted access mechanism may be mechanical and thus may require the user to overcome a one-time seal, adhesive, or the like while rotating the top 202 relative to the bottom 204 to remove the top. In embodiments, the restricted access mechanism may require the user to unlock the top 202 so that onboard electronic devices unlock the top 202 permitting removal of the top 202. In embodiments, the restricted access mechanism may be mechanical and thus may require the user to overcome a one-time seal, adhesive, or the like while rotating the top 202 relative to the bottom 204 to remove the top. In further embodiments, the restricted access mechanism may also be configured to delay entry into the package 102 for a sufficient amount of time.

The bottom 204 of the body 208 may include a recessed area 210. In embodiments, the recessed area 210 may be semi-spherical in shape. In the many examples, the recessed area 210 may be configured to provide a stable base to enable the jar 200 to stand vertically on a surface and avoid being knocked over. In embodiments, the recessed area 210 may contain an electronic device 212 that may either be fixed to or formed in the material of body 208. In embodiments, the recessed area 210 may be configured to provide a stable base to enable the jar 200 to stand vertically on a surface and avoid being knocked over. In embodiments, the recessed area 210 may be configured to provide stackability so that another container can be situated below the jar 200 and its top may partially sit in the recessed area 210 and may be shown to improve stability when packaging multiple containers together. In embodiments, the top 202 may define a flat or a recessed portion 214 that may accept the recessed area 210 on another container to improve stability when packaging multiple containers together.

In embodiments, the top 202 and the bottom 204 may connect at a gap 220 that is cooperatively defined by the top 202 and the bottom 204. The gap 220 may permit the top 202 to secure to the body 208 using threads and a twisting motion to open or close the jar 200. In the embodiments, gap 220 may permit the jar 200 to be opened using a pushing and twisting motion. The restricted access top mechanism 202 may permit a user to open the jar 200 by first pushing the top 202 and bottom 204 together, closing gap 220, then using a twisting motion to open or close the jar. The gap 220 may provide sufficient space to allow the top 202 and bottom 204 to be pushed together allowing a user to twist the jar 200 open or closed. The restricted access top mechanism 202 may prevent a user from twisting the jar 200 open or closed without first pushing together the top 202 and bottom 204.

As depicted in FIGS. 8-11, the jar 200 may use threads 230 to allow a user to twist a jar 200 open or closed. FIGS. 8 and 9 show examples of the top 202 with a restricted access mechanism and threads 232. FIGS. 10 and 11 show bottoms 204 having various internal capacities and each with threads 230 according to the various examples provided herein. In embodiments, the top 202 may be universal and fit and therefore may be configured to be connectable and may secure to each of the different size bodies and bottoms 204 and their various capacities depicted in FIGS. 12-15. In embodiments, a body 250 in FIGS. 12 and 13 may have a larger internal cavity than the cavity 240 in body 208 (FIG. 11). In embodiments, a body 260 in FIGS. 14 and 15 may have a larger internal cavity than a cavity 240 in body 208 (FIG. 11) and what is in the body 250 (FIG. 13).

In the embodiments, a clockwise twisting motion of the top 202 may cause the top 202 and the bottom 204 to connect using threads 230, 232 and a counterclockwise twisting motion of the top 202 relative to the bottom 204 may cause their disconnection. The threads 230, 232 may be relatively oversized and may be shown to ease the connection between the top 202 and the bottom 204 by making alignment and engagement of the threads 230, 232 easier and allowing a user to more easily twist the jar 200 open or closed.

As depicted in FIG. 11, the body 208 may form the cavity 240 so as to be accessible when the top 202 is removed but sealed closed when the top 202 is connected to it (FIG. 3). Dimensions of the cavity 240 may define the capacity of jar 200. Dimensions of the cavity 240 may be defined by an outside dimension depth, outside dimension width and outside dimension height.

In embodiments and as depicted in FIGS. 2 and 3, the jar 200 may be configured to have about 5 milliliters (ml) capacity. The about 5 ml volume is equivalent to a capacity of about 1.3 drams, about 0.16 ounces (oz.) or about 5 ml. In embodiments, the 5 ml jar may have an outside dimension depth of about 38 millimeters (mm) or about 1.5 inches, an outside dimension width of about 38 mm or about 1.5 inches and an outside dimension height of about 38 mm or about 1.5 inches.
